INDONESIA — Churches Burned


On Jan. 22, two church buildings under construction in North Sumatra, Indonesia, were burned by suspected Islamic extremists, according to Compass Direct News.

"The attackers came from outside the area to burn the partially constructed buildings of the Huria Kristen Batak Protestan Church (HKBP) and the Pentecostal Church in Sibuhuan village, Padang Lawas Residency, during daylight hours," Rev. Lubis of the HKBP church told Compass. "Hundreds of people arrived on motorcycles and burned the empty church."
Praise God none of the believers were injured in the fires. Church leaders reported that many believers in the area have fled, fearing for their safety. The Voice of the Martyrs supports and encourages Indonesian believers in a variety of ways, including through the distribution of Christian literature. Praise God for the unwavering faith of these Indonesian believers. What are we doing? We should at least be praying for all the Christ followers over there and the Missionaries there sacrificing so much to expand the Gospel!! Another way we can help is by supporting the Voice of the Martyrs. Follow the link for more info.........
